Yep, A Refer Is Right Smack Dab Beside Us!

Let me set this up for you...we pulled into a nice BIG parking lot with a whopping THREE trucks already here.  We go into to eat.  We come back out and settle in, relaxing.

Then, in the distance, I see a big rig making it's way toward us.  That's okay, there is plenty of room for all.

He/she backs in...only we hear the *(&%#*#$( refer running.  It ain't a whisper type either.  It's one of those louder than a Guns 'N Roses concert.

Damn, oh, damn.  Damn, damn, damn. 

See, told you we were refer magnets in previous posts! 

Found THE Perfect Way To Keep Refers Away From My Truck

Remember a few days ago I was grousing about how my truck is a refer magnet? No matter where I park in a truck parking lot, a refer will search me out, home in on my truck and make a beeline for the space next to me. Usually, the refers are working in pairs and one will go on either side. They work in tag-teams also...one pulls out and there is another one just waiting to take its place.

Weeeelllll, read on, I now know how to fix this problem!!

I have two little yappy dogs. The yappiest things you've ever seen. I can't make them mind one bit but they are the apples of my eye.

(Can you see this one coming??)

So, what you do is park and leave your windows down just a tad, enough that their full throated yaps carry all over the parking lot. Just enough that when you're inside the c-store you can hear them yapping, pretending you don't know who-the-hell would own such critters.

Voila! No trucker in their right mind is going to park beside such PITA (that Pain-In-The-Ass for you who don't know...remember this because I'll use it plenty in coming posts) yapping dogs!!

So now, I can finally, finally compete with the friggin' refers on noise!! Better yet, a refer you get used to, a yapping dog who yaps intermittently, not so much. hehehehe..... Life is sweet....

Refers Seek Me Out, It Seems

Why is this??

No matter where I park in a truckstop parking lot, you can pretty well bet your bottom dollar that a refer will seek my rig out 'just' to park beside me.

Could they possibly have a refer with whisper mode?? Hell, no. Of course not. It has to be an older model that is louder than Joshua's horn (look that up in the Old Testament).

I'm doomed to living with refers next door. Just flat doomed....
